“…Similar to studies in Ethiopia [13,23] and Dhaka [25], our study found signi cant associations between diabetes-related knowledge with levels of education, marital status, occupation, and duration of the disease. However, contrary to our study, males have a better knowledge of the disease than females in India [38] and Zimbabwe [39].…”

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is becoming an epidemic with significant disability and premature death in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Benin. However, little is known about the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) necessary for diabetic patients to enhance therapeutic outcomes, and prevent and manage diabetes complications. The study aimed to assess patients’ KAP levels and identify the factors associated in Cotonou, southern Benin. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2019 among 300 diabetic patients from four health centers. Data was collected using validated questionnaires. Levels of KAP were determined by calculating the scores, and multivariate logistic regression was used to explore factors influencing KAP scores. Results About 53%, 52%, and 47% of all patients had good knowledge, attitude, and practice towards diabetes. In logistic regression, factors such as being female, married, educated, government/non-government employee, and longer duration of diabetes were significantly associated with good knowledge. Being married, having a longer duration of diabetes, and good knowledge were significantly associated with a good attitude while being educated, having a longer duration of diabetes, and good knowledge with good practice. Conclusions Lack of knowledge, poor attitude, and inadequate practice were found in this surveyed community, suggesting a need for structured educational programs to assist diabetic patients. However, education should be considered a priority for male, newly diagnosed, and uneducated patients.

“…Furthermore, the relationship between diabetic's self-care practice and residence of DM patients was reviewed by five articles. All studies (25,28,29,33,36) demonstrate that being an urban residence promoted diabetic self-care practice. The effect size of the residence revealed that living in an urban area has a threefold chance of practicing diabetics self-care than DM patients residing in the rural area 3.26(2.24, 4.74), I 2 =96.3%, P<0.001) (Figure9).…”

Background: Appropriate diabetic self-care is indispensable to prevent and limit diabetic associated short and long term complications including death. Therefore, this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed at exploring and determining the pooled national percentage of diabetic self-care and its determinants among adult diabetic patients in Ethiopian.Methods: Different electronic databases including PubMed/Medline and search engines such as Google scholar were used to retrieve published studies. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) quality appraisal checklists were used to appraise the quality of studies. Data were extracted using excel spreadsheets and analyses were done by STATA 14. Heterogeneity among studies was diagnosed using the I2. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was employed for substantial heterogeneity (I2>50%).Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were carried out. The funnel plot and Egger's regression test was used to identify publication bias. Moreover, the nonparametric trim and fill analysis was done for findings with significant Egger's test (p<0.05) and asymmetric distribution of studies in the funnel plot. The pooled estimate of diabetic self-care and odds ratio was reported based on the 95% CI.Results: Well over half of the Ethiopian diabetic patients have good self-care 54.04% (47.07-61.01, I2 =97.3, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the highest and the lowest pooled estimate of selfcare was detected in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples and Hareri region with 81.96% and 44.53% respectively. Being knowledgeable about diabetes mellitus 2.69%, having good social support 2.25%, owning private glucometer 3.04%, and being urban residents 3.26% have promoted diabetic victims to apply self-care practice.Conclusions: Despite the life-threatening complications of diabetes mellitus, the percentage of patients applying self-care has remained low in Ethiopia, depicting the high proportion of diabetic patients are prone to develop long and short term life-threatening consequences of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, improving the client's awareness about the disease and counseling clients about the significance of social support are believed to be possible strategies to improve self-care practice and policymakers are strongly recommended to combat diabetic associated complications to attain sustainable development goal 3.4 aims to reduce premature death.

Background Appropriate diabetic self-care is indispensable to prevent and limit diabetic associated short and long term complications including death. Despite the well-recorded devastating complications of diabetes mellitus, a pooled percentage of diabetic patients applying self-care and its determinants at the national level have remained unknown. Therefore, this comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis is aimed at determining the pooled national percentage of diabetic self-care practice and its determinants among adult diabetic patients in Ethiopian. Methods: Different electronic databases including PubMed/Medline and search engines such as Google scholar were used to retrieve published studies. The Joanna Briggs Institute quality appraisal checklists were used to appraise the quality of studies. Data were extracted using excel spreadsheets and analyses were done by STATA 14. Heterogeneity among studies was diagnosed using the I2 test. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was employed for substantial heterogeneity (I2>50%). The pooled estimate of diabetic self-care and odds ratio was reported based on the 95% CI. Results: A total of 3861 studies were identified, of which only 19 studies have reached the final qualitative synthesis and quantitative analysis. Well over half of the Ethiopian diabetic patients have good self-care 54.04% (47.07-61.01, I2 =97.3, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the highest pooled estimate was in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples 81.96(71.85-92.04), I2=89.1, P<0.002) while the lowest was from the Hareri region 44.53(32.16-56.89) I2=94%%, P<0.001). Being knowledgeable about diabetes mellitus 2.69 (1.62, 4.46; I2 =99%, P<0.001), having good social support 2.25(1.49-3.39; I2=99%, P=0.00), owning private glucometer 3.04(1.64, 5.65; I2=97.4, P<0.001), and being urban residents 3.26(2.24, 4.74; I2=96.3%, P<0.001) have promoted diabetic victims to apply self-care practice. Conclusions: Despite the life-threatening complications of diabetes mellitus, the percentage of patients applying self-care has remained low in Ethiopia, depicting the high proportion of diabetic patients are prone to develop long and short term complications of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, improving the client’s awareness about the disease and counseling clients about the significance of social support are believed to be possible strategies to improve self-care practice and policymakers are strongly recommended to combat complications to attain sustainable development goal 3.4 aims to reduce premature death.
